WEEK THREE: ADD WRITING, PHOTOS, AUDIO AND VIDEO TO YOUR WIKI (21 May - 27 May)

This week we will look at adding various media to our wikis. Remember that the basic requirement of the cours is to create a wiki and add some navigation pages, plus comment on each week to show you are still with us. All these other additions are for you to work with when you are ready to do so.

This week we will look at the following:

Week 3a: Add writing to your wiki

Week 3b: Add photos to your wiki

I usually make a table and then add two photos side by side. Try and keep a gap between the photos and make sure your photos are under 500KB.

Please take a look at this PowerPoint which will show the process step by step. I have uploaded it to Box.net.

Now I have gone one step further and show the whole process using Screencast-o-matic on the left. On the right I have uploaded the Screencast-o-matic video to YouTube. Amazing what you can do on the Internet all for free!


Here is a screencast of the process using Screencast-o-matic.com http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/watch/clhODJGFg		This is a screencast using Screencast-o-matic now converted to a YouTube video http://youtu.be/OhkI52uvOcg

Week 3c: Add video to your wiki

One of the marvelous things about a wiki is that you can easily add a video. However the video has to be uploaded to another platform such as YouTube first to generate an HTML code. This section explains how to embed a YouTube video on a wiki. We will explore adding two YouTube videos, converting the size to 420 pixels rather than 560pixels and placing them side by side. The embedded PowerPoint below will give step by step instructions.
